[Rhodes22-list] Whisker Pole Pictures

[Michael D. Weisner]

Lee,

I had been thinking about using a pole for a while and picked one up at the 
WM Spring Tent sale.  After looking at picture #1, I wonder if it presents 
too much lateral force at the attachment point.  Does anyone know if the 
sharp bend at the top of the swaged fitting damages the stay?  Can I change 
the attachment point to put less lateral force on the cable?  Rummy, have 
you seen any problems over time?
